Chapter 71 - New Weapon

Central Axis World

Crimson Asurayasha Deva Kingdom

9 Am in the morning.

Before Erix visited any of the facilities, he checked the growth of the Yggdrasil within and saw that it was seeping it's root deep into his soul that had become more solid almost like his Astral and Spiritual Body. The dimension became more solid and was even forming a land that grew vegetation. Similar to how getting close to its manifestation would bring them to the pocket dimension where the Dryad and Treant was residing.

'I wonder if I should name it? Will it evolve? I'll do that later. Now that I think about it, will Ramiris be affected by it?' Erix thought to himself considering she's the Fairy Queen. Regardless, he decided to name it unsure how it will affect things and didn't want to suddenly be overwhelmed by the sudden change when he was going on a trip.

He pulled back his consciousness heading to the alchemist girl, Spinel Fean who he provided with a place to contact her test. Erix curious if she's able to replicate the in-game potions from Yggdrasil and her skills isn't something one finds in the road base from what he scanned.

Her facility was in the place where Vesta would have been if he was in his empire. There are a few Nazarick Denizen who help with her research which are mostly Undead and monster NPC that had lore to be researchers. In addition, there are few demons of Slaneesh who are made to pursue perfection.

"Oh, Erix-sama?" A soothing voice came and Erix saw a young woman with medium length black hair that's kept in a ponytail. Cool type intellectual beauty that would look good in a business suit. The Alchemist Girl, Spinel came wearing a lab coat and had clipboard in hand.

"How are you? Is there something I can help you with?" Spinel gave quite the smile and Erix knew that she was particularly interested in him ever since he saved them. Erix guesses that she was curious why he has numerous women by his side and seemingly happy. Normally, a woman would feel discouraged to seduce someone who already has top class beauty and higher status than them but Spinel didn't see any problem in trying and she isn't naive not to notice his gaze when Erix visits.

Though, it has only been a few days almost a week that they spent in his nation but everyone loved the place having experienced life of luxury that it was worth staying forever. Still they have to return and update their status in the adventurer guild before they are declared missing.

"Ah, I'm here for a few things, first is to see your beauty." Erix smirked walking over to her while Spinel enjoyed his compliment, finding him quite charismatic.

"Ara~ I'm grateful but don't you tell that to the woman around you?" Spinel said while Erix shook his head.

"That's where you're wrong, I said your beauty and not theirs. You have a different charm and allure than them. Come on, have some confidence." Erix grinned, giving some encouraging words that made the alchemist girl softly smile.

"Fufufu~ quite the silver tongue you have. Then again it's expected for a leader. Thank you, Erix-sama." Spinel slightly blush and was happy for his genuine thoughts.

"Now, why don't we have some tea and talk about your reason for coming in private." She continued and Erix nodded following her to an office that Erix made for her. It was rather easy using magic. Spinel poured some tea and Erix sat in front of her.

"How's your stay? Is there any problem?" Erix took a sipped of his cup.

"Besides getting used to working with strange creatures then everything had been great. The people helping me may be strange at times but they have been a great help in my research." Spinel seemed happy to tell him that had happened lately and Erix happy listening to her.

"Oh that's good to hear. I was afraid that you'll hate it." Erix was worried considering the Monster from Yggdrasil was helping her.

"I haven't finished making the Full Recovery Potion but I'm confident that I'll be able to perfect it within a couple of weeks. The books provided by Lady Jibril had been beneficial." Spinel found the Yggdrasil books to be rather fascinating and helped her develop new understanding in alchemy.

"There are many options unique to the Central Axis World that greatly enhance my insight. I've only heard otherworlder coming from a world called 'Earth' but never a place similar to ours. What world did you come from?" Spinel asked, having shared knowledge about their origin. There wouldn't be any differences anyway if people knew and an observant would already learn about their otherworlder status.

"Yggdrasil, a world place within a humongous tree. It is the same one you've seen in the Kingdom." Erix answered without care.

"Are you saying that it produces another world within this world?" Spinel was confused about what it meant.

"Indeed, it's similar to Dungeon I guess but larger." Erix simplified the idea for Spinel to answer who nodded.

"Is that so? Interesting. Anyways you haven't told me the other reason for you being here." Spinel asked.

"Ah, well, I'll be heading to the Kusha mountains and might return in a day or two. I've also recieve some information from an adventurer party and can ask them to relay the information about you girls being alive and safe unless you wish to return with them."

Erix asked them about the world but they weren't well versed in the other kingdoms as Kaval's party considering they are not normal adventurers but guards for Eren who was high class Noble in Sorcerer's Dynasty Sarion. Spinel was a bit surprised then smiled.

"How nice of you, Erix-sama. Me and the others would much appreciate it. We would like to stay here for the time being and gain some experience." Spinel can't pass the golden opportunity to learn and study alchemy.

"You're welcome. If any of you wish to become my citizen then we will accept you with open arms." Erix smiled at her while Spinel frowned.

'....I would prefer being your woman.' Spinel muttered under her breath while Erix pretended not to hear, believing that she didn't even attack him because she didn't want to appear to be an easy woman. Though, Erix wondered how long can she hold back until then? After a while, the two chatted for an hour about trivial things until Erix decided to visit other facilities.

"Anyway, thank you for the tea but I'll be going and checking on the others. If you ever need any help then feel free to ask." Erix said standing up while Spinel did the same.

"I will keep that in mind. Thank you again, Erix-sama." Spinel said while Erix nodded before vanishing into the air , appearing to the blacksmith facility where the sound of metal and hammer slamming into one another echoed through the air.

"Huhuhu~ look who came to visit." A rough voice was heard as Kaijin walked out removing his goggles.

"Hello, Kaijin, how are you today?" Erix asks, looking around, seeing a few Kijin and Hobgoblins helping in the forging and crafting of the weapons, tools and armor of the nation. Most items they were able to mass produce were high quality at Rare to Unique Rank items. This all thanks to the endless supply of materials from the mining ore pocket dimension/pseudo-dungeon that he created.

"Hahaha these old bones are still staying strong! The place has never been lively after you have given us many opportunities to discover and improve our skills." Kaijin happily exclaimed, hitting his chest showing his robust body.

"Glad to hear that. Anyway, where's Emery?" Erix knew where she was but simply asked because of his habit. Emery Furado was the name of the blacksmith girl.

"Huhuhu~ you already have numerous top class beauty and are still aiming for my disciple?" Kaijin teased him and Erix chuckled.

"My intention is pure. She mentioned making a weapon for me as a token of gratitude and appreciation." Erix pretended to be innocent and the dwarf blacksmith was unconvinced and smirked at him.

"Sure, sure, well, let me take you there." Kaijin said showing where the blacksmith girl was and arrived to see her inspecting some of the weapons. Emery saw them coming instantly lit up.

"Erix-sama! Great, you're here! I was about to contact you." Emery excitedly walked over toward them while Kaijin chuckled.

"Alright, I'mma head out. I'll let you two have your privacy." Kaijin quickly left the two showing smirk to his disciple who slightly blush but immediately shook her head.

"R-Right, I wanted to show what I've made." Emery said taking him to her workshop where there are a handful of Rare to Unique weapons or if using Yggdrasil standard Legacy and Relic Ranks. It's amazing how she adapts and forge this many weapons. She doesn't even have Unique skills yet but Erix believed that giving enough time in his kingdom would awaken unique skills through her effort.

"You've made quite a lot of equipment huh? It should only be more than a week since you've been here yet you made a handful of equipment that are rare and unique." Erix complimented her skills and would likely catch up to Kurobe or Kaijin at this rate.

"Thank you, it is all thanks to materials and help from Kaijin-sensei that I'm able to produce them. Ah, here we are." Emery was busy searching for her gift and once she found it presented a beautiful Halberd that exude power and the quality was top notch.

Forged by Emery Furado. ]

Erix was impressed seeing the weapon in hand brandishing it and felt rather complete. The spear was way below his personal weapon for obvious reason but it remained a rather deadly weapon forged by a skilled craftswoman.

"What do you think? It was rather exciting to combine the materials of your world with ours. I've tried making it into a Legendary Rank but gave up as it was impossible with my current skills " Emery was genuinely disappointed that she couldn't even make a Legendary Rank when none, even her master Kaijin, couldn't easily make one.

{ It certainly a great weapon but Master, don't try placing an ego to it when you already have me. } Amaia commented looking at the pristine weapon reminding her of the time he was like it. A weak weapon that grew beside her beloved master.

'Not planning on it.' Erix replied and tightly grasped it.

"This is already an amazing piece of art! Have you decided on a name for it?" He asked.

"It's up to you." Emery said while Erix thought for a moment.

"Purgatory. Spear of Purgatory. That's the name I'll give it." Erix was satisfied with the spear and perfect when he was holding back.

"Umu, what a good name. Are you going to test it?" Emery asked eager to see if there was any improvement that she might be able to add. She was determined to improve it if possible.

"Yeah, I'm going to the training ground to inspect something." Erix answered and Emery nodded.

"Alright, I'll join you since I'm free at the moment." Emery said as the two decided to check the weapon performances in the training ground. In Erix's opinion, the weapon was close to becoming a Legendary Weapon from the fact it was a growth type.

Growth type isn't that sought after in Yggdrasil since it will normally start incredibly weak but hardcored player such as himself would tell you that they are incredible power.
